Pictures Of The Most Famous Ghost Of The White House?
By Dorraine Fisher

It was Abraham Lincoln of course.

The first families have joked about it for years. Many guests of the Lincoln bedroom, including Winston Churchill, First Lady Grace Coolidge, and Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands claimed to have seen him. But paranormal researcher, Joshua P. Warren claims to have photographic proof.

This photo taken by a former White House photographer was said to have been taken in the basement below the Lincoln bedroom, leading Warren to believe that Lincoln is the one in the photo, though Presidents Fillmore and Polk also died while in office.

In this interview, we talk to paranormal investigator Tony Felosi. Tony is from Harlan County Kentucky and recently took part in Harlan Haunt Fest. Tony is also finishing up a book about his investigations, many of which took place in Harlan county. He is hopeful that his book will be out sometime in early 2017.

Here is our interview

TM: How long have you been researching/studying the paranormal?
TF: 8 years Seriously - Have been Interested and reading about Ghost, UFO's, Bigfoot, And Mythology since I was around 10 years old.

TM: What got you interested in ghost, Was there a particular event that got you started?
TF: The desire for more knowledge and the possibility of communication with other dimensions really got me into the Paranormal.

TM: During your research/studying of the paranormal, have you ever encountered aggressive behavior or felt in danger from a spirit?
TF: Yes, I have been scratched , Stepped on, clothes tugged etc. I think that most of the time that the stronger entities try and influence your mind into a state of being paranoid or fearful. This is why it is so Important that you are grounded and focused during Investigations.

TM: It seems Skeptics are always doubting the paranormal field, and make claims of evidence being faked, How do you deal with it?
TF: I try and use logic, and show them legitimate evidence that I have caught. But some people due to being close minded cannot be swayed no matter how compelling the evidence may be.


TM: What do you feel is your best evidence of the paranormal?
TF: EVP's from a killer and his victim. The killer was shot during his trial by a relative of the victim. I caught EVP's that were backed up by court records and newspaper articles. Also have a video of a figure moving in front of the camera during a fog machine experiment on demand.

(Here is that video. Please look at the very end of the video, A figure seems to move from left to right.)

 


TM: Do you have a favorite place you like to investigate?
TF: My favorite place to Investigate Probably would be the Old Jail and Courtroom in the old Harlan county courthouse that was built in 1928 and has seen at least 15 Murders and suicides.

TM: Do you have a place you would like to investigate but haven't got to, yet?
TF: Probably Waverly Hills and Leap Castle in Ireland

TM: What would you be doing if you wasn't researching/studying the paranormal?
TF: Camping and woods survival , Tracking etc

Does the ghost of Abe Lincoln haunt the White House?

This is our second episode/post in our Mysteries series. I know this is a step away from everyone's favorite subject of Bigfoot, but maybe a little break is good for us.

In this post we will be talking about Abe Lincoln or better yet, the ghost of Abe Lincoln and the persistent tales of Lincoln hanging around the White House.

Grace Coolidge

Grace Coolidge, the wife of president Calvin Coolidge, is thought to be the first person to come forward and tell about seeing the ghost of Lincoln during her time at the White House. She reported seeing Lincoln in the Oval Office. She described Lincoln as looking out the window across the Potomac and that there was a sadness in the air.

While Mrs. Coolidge may have been the first to report seeing Lincoln, she sure wasn't the only one to report seeing and hearing him. There are numerous reports of foot steps and knocking that has been reported over the years.

Mary Eben, secretary to Eleanor Roosevelt, claimed to have seen Lincoln sitting on the edge of the bed putting on his boots. She also admitted to running out of the room screaming after seeing the ghost. Even Theodore Roosevelt claimed to have see Lincoln in the White House. Numerous staff members for various Presidents has all reported hearing and seeing Lincoln.

Winston Churchill

There are also reports of Lincoln's ghost being seen outside of the White House, but maybe the most famous and entertaining account of Lincoln's ghost was by Winston Churchill. Churchill was staying in Lincoln's bedroom while a guest at the White House. After taking a bath and drying off, Churchill lit a cigar and walked totally naked into the bedroom. Once in the bedroom Churchill saw the ghost of Lincoln leaning up against the fireplace. The rarely shaken and quick thinking Churchill greeted the ghost with "Good evening, Mr. President. You seem to have me at a disadvantage." Churchill stated Lincoln smiled and faded away.



It seems the ghost of Lincoln is not just confined to the White House grounds. Reports of Lincoln's ghost have also been reported at his grave site in Springfield, IL. Lincoln has also been said to haunt a house of a woman who was at the Ford's Theater when he was shot. 



Willie Lincoln, the son of Abe Lincoln, died in the White House at the age of 11 of Typhoid. His ghost has also been reported several times over the years.  Could this be one of the reasons his father Abe is still seen around the White House?


We know that the White House is full of secrets and at various times little tidbits of these secrets leak out. Just how many more sightings of the ghost of Lincoln have there been? We may never know for sure, but we will be waiting and watching for the next little leaked report to surface.

Thanks

Ghost Nuns?

I was just surfing around the internet, looking at stuff that I find interesting ....you know stuff like Bigfoot, Ghost, UFOS....ect.  I happened to run across this old picture and here is what was stated about it.

A photograph showing a group of girls sitting on a grassy mound. On the left side a group of miniature figures of nuns can be seen walking through the grass. The figures were not visible when the photograph had been taken.Photograph taken in 1961 and was given to Rosalind Heywood a Society for Psychical Research Council Member. No Copyright for the photograph exists. The photograph was later reprinted in the book Investigating The Paranormal by Tony Cornell in 2002. Author Mr. M. B

While most of us probably think this is nothing more than a double exposure, I still find it appealing. I guess it has a little to do with the fact I like old photography and then you add in the ghost element.  Plus I can't recall ever seeing this picture before.

In any case, I thought I would just play around with the photo and run it through some filters/effects. I guess I may as well share them....so here they are.



Just a slight adjustment in contrast to bring out the figures a little more.


A crop of the mysterious figures.


 I inverted the picture. The figures stand out. 


With this filter I don't think the figures look like Nuns at all. It looks more like rain coats. The figure on the far right looks more like a KKK member.




Now, what to you think about the photo? Is it a double exposure? Paper cut outs? Shadows? reflections?
Your guess is as good as mine. We do know that back in the late 1800's  and early 1900's that Spirit photography was a big deal and that a lot of pictures from that time period have been exposed as fakes. I know you guys remember the old Ectoplasm photos from back then. What was said to be "spirit energy" turned out to be nothing more the cheese cloth, material or tissue . Here is a photo to jar your memory.
  
Even knowing many of these old pictures where fakes, I still enjoy looking at them. It gives me a glimpse of the past and helps me realize that people were basically the same back then as they are now. The mysteries of our world keeps searching for answers.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks
